On last Saturday q freight train on the
Burlington road ran off the trestle work ct
the south end of the Illinois river bridge.
The trouble came from switching and leav.
ing a detached part Of the train upon a
grade. These loose cars came down unto
the other part of the train and knocked il
out in the first round" Probabilities: one
less freight conductor on the Burlington
road, and vacant position to fill. 1t is re-
ported that the entire accident was due to
the csrelessness Of the conductor.

The Chain Gang.

The recent shooting Of two colored
conyicts at the stockade here has been
talked about considerably, and strange
to say not man can say anything
about it only as hearsay. Now, the
proper way to have done would to
have had a number of our best colored
citizens to investigate the case, and if
the case warranted it present the guard
who did the shooting to the grand
jury or the solicitor, and prosecut,
him. But | am informed that not
colored man appeared, either befor,
the grand jury or the solicitor, to say
a word against the man who did the
shooting.
These men on the chain gang are
human, and should be treated as
such, and while they may deserve
punishment for their crimes, they de-
serve fair treatment, and if the guard,
overstep the law in inficting injury on
them, they themselves should be pros
ecuted and punished.
1t shows weak spot in a man to
say what legal steps should be taken
and never show himself before the
grand jury. The solicitor informs me
that not single coiored man has
made any complaint to him whatever
regarding this shooting.

The Happy Farmer.

We have often noticed that a certain
class of newspaper men assert that the
farmer is the most independent man on
earth, and that he has nothing to do
but enjoy life. That when winter
comes and the blizzard is on the wing
he toasts his feet in the oven and
reads the l. cal paper, that the only
thing that disturDs him is call tire.
times day to banquet ON mince pie
and other Injuries. 1t is large mis-
take. The industrious farmer begins
working long before the sun thinks Of
getting up. With his soul shrouded
in gloom he proceeds to build fire
and soften his boots with the hammer.
He then takes lantern and shoyels
his way to the barn and feeds his hogs.
1t is then time to feed the newly
arrived calf, which seems to delight
in bunting pail of milk all over the
tiller of the soil, until he only needs
to be stamped to pass for package Of
oleomargarine. He crawls through a
barbed wire fence and digs his hay out
of the snow; feeds his stock, milks the
COWS. cleans out the stable, gathers up
the frozen chickens, chases a stray pig
worth % cents for four miles, doctors
a sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets
kicked By one-eyed mule, and when
cleaning comes and quietness broods
over the earth he has simple half
hour to mediate and wonder how in
the ID he will make next payment
on that machine note.

On every page of history stands out
in blood-red letters the motto: Might

come last, because Might resides less
in numbers than in organized intelli-
